Love/Hate

Dear Running,


I hate you! I F-ing hate you!



I had hoped that after the Marathon you and me would be good friends I had hoped that a new trail and new outlook would make us BFF's.

Nope! I still hate you.

Signed,

-Bitter

P.S.

How many freaking miles do I have to run before I get skinny? I mean come on, I keep running and see some huge calories numbers but I'm seeing huge numbers on the scale too!






Dear Bitter,


HTFU!



Really! No offense but I'm not you're friend. I'm here to make you strong and faster.

If you don't like running for five hours to do a Marathon, then run faster! The faster you go the sooner you'll be done.


P.S.
Let's not kid each other:

STEP AWAY FROM THE PIZZA AND BEER!

You can run and bike all you like but if you keep eating everything in sight then the weight loss is going to be VERY slow (just like you).

So stop blaming me for you wide load and start watching what you eat. And yes, I am talking about Christmas Dinner!

Hope to see you on the trail!

You know you are officially crazy when you answer yourself...

Cuckoo cuckoo cuckooo!!!!

Count your calories for a week...reduce your number of calories...fat people eat pizza and beer, not hardcore soon to be Ironmen.

HTFU and get used to that hungry feeling knowing it will make you fast as hell!

haha, I have the very same problem. I moan about my weight while I stuff my face. The only reason I do this stuff is so I don't get BIGGER!!!!

Merry Xmas

Maybe you need to convince yourself you're running for two now?

Run till you love it baby and never stop! I put in just over 1500 miles this year and like RBR am heavier now than at the beginning of my season...it's my diet not the running.

I'm sure everyone goes through this after a marathon--and especially at the end of the year when it seems no goals are in sight. Just turn the page of that calendar and get moving!

Funny post. I liked it. This time of year is just hard. Simple as that. Hang in there!
